Promoting Gender Equality in Inheritance and Property Rights in Kosova
Session
Law
Description
Gender equality in inheritance and property rights is one of the main challenges in promoting human rights in Kosovo. Although the Constitution of Kosovo guarantees gender equality, in practice, women often face significant obstacles in realizing their property rights. Cultural norms and social traditions continue to exert a profound influence on how property rights and inheritance are implemented Legislation in Kosovo, including the Law on Inheritance, has made efforts to guarantee women's rights in the inheritance and property processes. However, the existence of discriminatory practices and narrow interpretations of laws often hinder the effective implementation of these rights. In many cases, women encounter difficulties in securing their inheritance rights due to social and cultural pressures, including fear of stigmatization and exclusion from the community. This negatively affects the economic and social empowerment of women, leaving them in unfavorable positions and limiting their opportunities to contribute to the economic development of the country. This research focuses on gender equality in inheritance and property rights in Kosovo, identifying challenges and opportunities for improvement. While the Constitution guarantees equality, women continue to face significant barriers to realizing their property rights due to cultural norms and discriminatory practices. This situation contributes to gender inequality and limits the economic and social empowerment of women.

Gender equality in inheritance and property rights is one of the main challenges in promoting human rights in Kosovo. Although the Constitution of Kosovo guarantees gender equality, in practice, women often face significant obstacles in realizing their property rights. Cultural norms and social traditions continue to exert a profound influence on how property rights and inheritance are implemented Legislation in Kosovo, including the Law on Inheritance, has made efforts to guarantee women's rights in the inheritance and property processes. However, the existence of discriminatory practices and narrow interpretations of laws often hinder the effective implementation of these rights. In many cases, women encounter difficulties in securing their inheritance rights due to social and cultural pressures, including fear of stigmatization and exclusion from the community. This negatively affects the economic and social empowerment of women, leaving them in unfavorable positions and limiting their opportunities to contribute to the economic development of the country. This research focuses on gender equality in inheritance and property rights in Kosovo, identifying challenges and opportunities for improvement. While the Constitution guarantees equality, women continue to face significant barriers to realizing their property rights due to cultural norms and discriminatory practices. This situation contributes to gender inequality and limits the economic and social empowerment of women.
